Telemedical Monitoring is the
ability to remotely capture and transmit medical data for the
purpose of monitoring an individual’s condition.
The main advantage
of this type of monitoring is that you, as a patient, can continue
to report your health to your physician from the comfort of your own
home.
The LifeguardSLU uses its exclusive MD Medi-care Device to allow
certain medical devices to transmit their data over regular phone
lines.
This data can be sent directly to your doctor, so you won’t have to
leave the house. Some medical applications supported by the
LifeguardSLU interface are:
Cardiology:
Various ECG event recorders
available (single event, multi-event, multi-lead, pacemaker
follow-up)
Pulmonology:
Spirometer for measurement of
lung ventilatory capacity
Pulse Oxymeter for measurement of blood oxygen levels
